I feel like Aventurine would be very very suspicious at first because he's used to a lot of people having ulterior motives and when transmigrator Caelus comes in he's understandably wary. But even if Caelus is trying to hide how he knows more than he should he's not the type to lie and he's open with his expressions so Aventurine feels more reassured over time. He knows something's up with Caelus but he's not malicious and then when he eventually falls for Caelus Aven wants to drink up every expression Caelus makes. The best ones are when he's giving Caelus smth
Oh yeah he would definitely be suspicious and hard to open up, as usual. Cae is gonna have to use his head and try and work around this, as Aven is a master at reading people and their intentions. But like you suggested, he’s very honest to a fault and can’t hide his passion for helping him and harbored affection and I think Aven will sense that and just be confused if anything! Eventually he eases into the role and is like oh…Okay. He genuinely just is on my side. That’s. Something.
When he catches feelings it is HARD and all at once and he doesn’t know what to do with all the attention and knowledge of his likes and dislikes and things. Like Cae already has such an advantage! Even if he doesn’t fully know that, he can tell it in the little ways he does things for him and treats him. He absolutely has to return the favor with deep loyalty and love. He wants to learn everything about him and make him happy, too. Whatever made Cae want to save him and help him so much he might never know, but he doesn’t mind as long as he gets to see his smiling face every day.
